Chapter 365: Asking for Grace
"You guys have a small gathering on February 2, and you don't even call me, it's really ......" When Situ Jiao entered the palace on the agreed day to ask the Queen Mother and Concubine Hui for a pulse, the third princess, who had already received the news of Situ Jiao's invitation in the mansion on February 2, pointed to Situ Jiao and was very annoyed.
If it weren't for Concubine Hui's splendor, there was still a saint sitting on the first seat, I believe that the third princess would have already pounced on Situ Jiao at this moment and pinched it twice to vent her anger.
"That's just to create an opportunity for Sister Zhou to visit her brother in the house, you didn't see Sister Zhou's face on the day your brother returned to Kyoto, if you did, you would try to create an opportunity for her.
Besides, even if you notify your cousin, can your cousin leave the palace? Situ Jiao blinked, with an expression of "you know, you know", which especially made the third princess depressed.
But depression is depressed, and what should be concerned is still to be concerned: "How is my cousin's injury?" โ
"I'm here! Every day, I personally treat his injuries and change the dressings, and all the wound medicines I specially developed are used, and it is difficult for him to think about it! Don't worry, in another ten days and eight days, he should go back to the Yulin Guard on an errand. In fact, if my mother hadn't insisted that he recuperate for a few more days, he would have been able to go back on an errand now. Situ Jiao has always said something in front of the third princess, and her expression at this moment is naturally a little sรจ.
"Yes, yes, you're the most capable! I can't treat myself as a cousin! The third princess glanced at Situ Jiao, and her depressed expression was beyond words.
I thought that the topic had shifted to Situ Yang's body, and the third princess would not mention the party again, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the third princess turned the topic back to the party where she was not invited on February 2.
Situ Jiao saw that the third princess was really depressed, and she still felt a little unbearable in her heart, so she thought about it for a while, so she might as well reveal the gathering in the third Taolin Villa in March to her to see if she could get the consent of the saint.
So he raised his chin to the saint who was whispering something to Concubine Hui, and whispered in the third princess's ear: "Why don't you ask the saint for a favor and go to the Taolin Courtyard on the third day of March?" โ
"March 3rd, are you going to the Taolin Courtyard again? Is it to see the peach forest? The third princess's eyes lit up, although she was not very sure that she would be able to get out of the palace, but she still showed a happy smile.
"Well, the weather is dry and cold this year, and it is expected that on March 3, it will be the time when the peach grove in the peach forest courtyard will be at its most vigorous. When the time comes, put a few small tables in the peach forest, and people will sit among the peach blossoms in the sky, drink peach blossom porridge, eat peach blossom cakes, taste peach blossom brew, taste peach blossom tea, not to mention how beautiful it is......" Situ Jiao squinted her eyes and was full of intoxication.
With Situ Jiao's words, the third princess seemed to be in the peach forest, the peach blossoms in the sky were flying around her, how could she still bear it in her heart, and turned to the saint to ask for grace: "Father, Jiaojiao's cousin is going to Taolin Villa on March 3, Erchen hasn't seen the place where Jiaojiao's cousin grew up, can my father let Erchen follow Jiaojiao to Taolin Villa to have a look?" โ
The sage glanced at Concubine Hui, who had not been very good since she was pregnant, her eyes shrank slightly, and when she threw herself at the third princess, she looked a little majestic: "Taolin Courtyard? I remember that although it is within the boundaries of Kyoto, it is not something that can be returned in a day, and you are willing to leave your mother and concubine alone in the palace? โ
The third princess glanced at Concubine Hui, and there was a moment of hesitation on her face, but soon a trace of cunning light flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward to grab the sage's royal robe and exert her grinding skills: "How can the mother concubine be alone in the palace?" Isn't there still a father!
Erchen really wanted to see the courtyard where Jiaojiao's cousin grew up, and the peach blossoms in the sky.
It was decided in this way, and the son asked his father for three days, just three days! Well, in the past three days, the mother concubine will be handed over to her father!
When the sons come back, bring the best peach blossom brew to their father, and then they will always be by the side of the mother and take care of the mother and concubine for their father! โ
Concubine Hui was afraid that the saint would be displeased, so she glared at the third princess who was talking to herself on the saint and reprimanded in a low voice: "Yao'er must not be rude, your father is busy with state affairs, where can you always come to the Splendid Palace?" โ
Originally, the saint was probably just teasing the third princess, but now when Concubine Hui said this, there was a trace of embarrassment and pity on her face.
Because Concubine Hui is pregnant, she naturally can't serve him anymore, so the number of times the saint has come to the Splendid Palace has been significantly less recently than before.
When I came in just now, I had already found that the eunuchs and palace maids in this palace seemed a little lazy.
There has always been no shortage of people in the palace who praise the high and step on the low, and now there are probably many people who see him not coming to the Splendid Palace for a few days, and they think that Concubine Hui has lost her favor.
The eunuchs and palace maids who serve in the Splendid Palace are still like this, but what about the others?
The saint's heart couldn't help jumping, and when he looked at Concubine Hui again, his heart hurt even more.
I saw that Concubine Hui was finally raised some time ago, but she was already a little white.
The sage's hidden gaze swept at Concubine Hui's still flat abdomen, the child in it was what he was trying to get, how many unpalatable medicinal foods Concubine Hui had eaten for this child, others may not know, will the sage not know?
But after Concubine Hui diagnosed the happy pulse, he didn't come much, when did he come last time?
It seems that it was half a month ago.
The saint's heart couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that he was so negligent to Hui Niang.
The guilty saint secretly stretched out his hand, quietly held Concubine Hui's jade hand, and gently pinched it in the soft and refreshing palm.
Concubine Hui didn't expect that the third princess only said such a specious word, which brought out the guilt in the saint's heart, and the saint's surprise attack made her face flash a trace of redness, and she glanced at the saint coquettishly.
This glance suddenly made the saint's whole body numb, and it was very useful.
Looking at the third princess and Situ Jiao's eyes again, they were also a little kinder: "Since Jiaojiao has made an appointment with a friend to go to Taolin Villa on March 3, Yao'er will go if she wants to go." But there is no shortage of one that should be brought around, understandable? โ
"I knew that my father would not disappoint my sons, my father was the best, long live my father!" As soon as the third princess was happy, she immediately danced with her hands, and finally gave the saint a very perfunctory knee salute, and pulled Situ Jiao to the side hall of the Splendid Palace.
Since Concubine Hui was diagnosed as pregnant, the third princess has settled in the side hall of the Splendid Palace, and she has rarely gone back to her own bedroom.
The third princess took Situ Jiao to the side hall, and naturally wanted to discuss with Situ Jiao about going to the Taolin Courtyard, but what she wanted to know more was about Su Yin.
"Are you saying that Su Yin is also going to the Taolin Courtyard on March 3rd? Why was she embarrassed to make such a request? Why did you say yes to her, girl? The third princess pointed her finger at Situ Jiao's head as she spoke, quite hating that iron does not become steel.
"Do you think it's better to let someone who wants to make a bad mistake for you stumbling in the shadows, or expose her to your own nose?" Situ Jiao didn't care, but asked rhetorically.
The third princess picked up the warm tea on the table, first put the cup under her nose and took a long breath, then took a small sip slowly, and when she raised her eyelids, there was a thick smile in her eyes, and her fingers nodded at Situ Jiao, without saying anything. (To be continued.) )
